Orion Prophecies Logo
The orbital city around Juneau also acts as a capital... with the seat of government and its many offices found along the sphere. But, its spaces are less grand since, besides the official public buildings, the residences are all privately owned. As a result, many immortals have a townhouse near one of the public parks/courtyards which they use while on Juneau. But the orbital capital has also created many extensions and buildings to accommodate the lodging demands of all the people who participate in government.
Property rights in the Republic are based upon a free-market principle. So, property on the orbital capital of Juneau is some of the best property that can be 'bought' and hence commands some of the highest prices in Orion's Arm. As a result, only certain industries can afford to take up residence there and they need to compete with embassies and immortal's for the prime locations. It is no where near the same kind of free-wheeling and dealing that has occurred for centuries on Terra Nova, Gresham (a republic between Juneau and Bayonne) and the orbital cities built around the planets along the Cassiopeian line.
